Later, David was recovered by rescue workers, but ran away scared. David crawled into one of the vaults, which ultimately saved him from falling debris and isolated him from Steelheart's energy blasts. Enraged, Steelheart killed David's father and then proceeded to destroy the bank. When his father shot Deathpoint, the bullet grazed Steelheart's cheek and caused him to bleed. During this time, David's father grabbed one of the dead guard's guns and prepared himself to kill Deathpoint, believing that Steelheart was a hero. Half the bank was killed when Steelheart came in and Deathpoint started to argue with him.
When David was eight, he and his father were at a bank which was attacked by an Epic named Deathpoint who had the power to skeletonize people by pointing at them. Compared to other places in what was the United States, war torn, lawless and ravaged by warring Epics, Newcago is well run, with normal people generally having access to food, water, electricity, jobs, etc.ĭavid's father was murdered by Steelheart around the time of the collapse. Newcago is also shrouded in darkness by Steelheart's lieutenant, Nightwielder. Steelheart is apparently invulnerable, is able to fly, can hurl blasts of energy, and can turn inanimate matter to steel he has turned all of Chicago to steel for kilometers around and into the ground. Newcago is ruled by the extremely powerful Epic named Steelheart, who has created a society run by other powerful Epics, with normal people living with normal jobs. The story is told through the perspective of David, an orphaned teenager living in Newcago (formerly known as Chicago). These people came to be known to humanity as Epics. The United States, and other parts of the world, were changed forever when a glowing red light in the sky known as Calamity gave normal people superhuman powers and abilities.
